My love is like a desert flower, drying in the sun Then a drop of precious water comes, but one, And at once life fills the plant, and color brightens blossom, Green and luscious in a moment, my heart should be as light as balsam, But I sowed a seed of fear, beside that seed of rose, And every time a hydrant falls, that vine of fear grows, It’s poisoned circles loop around my heart, try to keep my head from reeling, But pain it only causes, increased unhappy feeling, I put it there in hopes it would protect my soul, Instead I find it makes an ever increasing hole

Rose in the desert
My love is like a desert flower, drying in the sun Then a drop of precious water comes, but one, And at once life fills the plant, and color brightens blossom, Green and luscious in a moment, my heart should be as light as balsam, But I sowed a seed of fear, beside that seed of rose, And every time a hydrant falls, that vine of fear grows, It’s poisoned circles loop around my heart, try to keep my head from reeling, But pain it only causes, increased unhappy feeling, I put it there in hopes it would protect my soul, Instead I find it makes an ever increasing hole
